The Island of Pirland, home to a diverse and unique population, has been at the forefront of Likatonian politics for the past century. The island is home to several groups of people such as Gaduris, Egelians, Luthorians, and Valruzians. In the past decade, the island has sought to distance itself from the political commotion from Clovisport. Pirland's population and divisive politics has made it a "battleground" in federal elections. The island state is a rich basket of votes for both the Federalists and the Restorationists every four years. Yet, the people of the island are just about done with the attention it seeks from Clovisport every election cycle. State leaders and local officials have applauded Clovisport's attempt at a deep federalization process, meaning that Pirland will soon have more autonomy over what happens in the state.

But just what happens in the state? Pirland has three main cities: Tampico Bay, Solari, and Orland Hills with the latter hosting the state capitol. Solari, by far the most populated and popular of Pirland's cities, lies on the western edge of Pirland bordering the South Ocean. Solari is dominated by Gaduri, Pensio, and Baltusian cultures. The city is home to millions of immigrants who have made their way towards Seleya from the far reaches of Artania and  Majatra. Its culture is focused on a high-style sexy nightlife and tropical vibes thanks to the proximity of warm winds coming from the ocean. Solari is often called 'The City of Vice', due to the continuous and often unsubtle criminal activity in the city. However, crime has become a part of life in Solari. Thanks to a weak local government and a lacking surrounding economy, Solari has seen an increase in crime for five years straight, yet the people of the area seem blissfully ignorant of the underground happenings of their own city.

Some say that the city, despite its faults and crime ridden stats, is actually just a haven for people to do what they like. Whether it is engaging in grand theft auto or enjoying a late night dance at a rooftop bar, the possibilities are endless. Solari officials of course are not confirmed to this "lawless lifestyle" that they perceive to exist in the city. Officials have claimed that yes Solari should be a place for everyone to be happy and enjoy the wonders of life, but the city shouldn't become lawless. Efforts are already underway to reform night-life regulations and improve surveillance in the city. Clovisport has even touted increasing funds to the city, with strings attached of course. Regardless of the political situation in the city, residents still enjoy the beauty the city has to offer. Tall palm trees line the streets, neon lights on buildings illuminate the sidewalks, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore fill the marina, where the nation's millionaires party on expensive yachts and drink their lives away. Solari is already one of the most important cities in Likatonia, generating billions of dollars each year from Clovisport. In spite of it all, the island is pursuing a new path away from politics and inches closer to embracing a culture of relaxation, nightlife, and most importantly, political apathy.
